I think I could make such a list for every country in the world...
if I had to make one for Germany I'd point out how much I hate those trendy hyphenated names (Anna-Lena, Anna-Maria, Lara-Marie, Marie-Christin) which are really really popular here. and then I'd tell you how much I hate it when German parents give their children English or French names without being able to pronounce them properly (Jacqueline = Djuck-eh-lee-neh????) I don't think so. and the list would go on and on.there are always people who choose "bad" names for their children. it doesn't have anything to do with the country. and it's okay. some people like names like Bryttni Jayyde and Jayyden Mykull. and I like it that way. if everbody would name their kids Cordelia and Conrad (my faves) I'd hate it. i love that there's some variety.
